Learners are given the brief to organise an exhibition about
the River Clyde communities for staff, learners, parents and
invited guests. Learners are invited to offer their
ideas on content and how an exhibition should be organised. The
project will be learner led with them splitting into groups in
accordance with the knowledge they wish to display. For example;
group A - history of the Clyde, group B - industry, group C -
leisure and pleasure, group D - poetry and song, group E - project
management and organisation. This project is entirely flexible and
can be as small or as ambitious as time, resources and space will
allow.
